Laces

Israel 2018 | 100 minutes | Hebrew, English

Laces tells the story of a complicated relationship between Reuben, an aging father, and Gadi, his special-needs son, whom he abandoned as a young boy. Years later, Reuben's kidneys are failing and Gadi wants to donate one of his own kidneys. However, the transplant committee objects to the procedure claiming that Rueben, acting as Gadi's sole legal guardian, does not have the right to authorize such an invasive procedure. Gadi feels he finally has the chance to do something meaningful. He's furious with the committee's decision and sets out to fight for his right to save his father's life.
